Is it possible to make changes to the text of an SVG with js?



So if I have some SVG:s. Later it should be a booking system. So there is a calendar and every bookable time I have an SVG of an calendar (like MacOS) and in every calendar SVG should later be displaying the correct date. So is it possible to make an SVG variable and then change the content?

          In the case you need several SVG elements like this you can do the following:
          For clarity I've simplified a lot your code.






          let svgs = document.querySelectorAll(".svg")


          function changeDate(svg,month,day){
          svg.querySelectorAll("text")[0].textContent = month;
          svg.querySelectorAll("text")[1].textContent = day;
          }

          changeDate(svgs[0],"DEC","25");
          changeDate(svgs[1],"JAN","6");

          .month{font-family:'Open Sans';font-weight:400;font-size:20px;font-style:normal;word-spacing:5;fill:white;stroke:none;}
          .day{font-family:'Open Sans';font-weight:400;font-size:70px;font-style:normal;fill:#000000;stroke:none;}
          text{text-anchor:middle;}

          this code worked for me, use your desired function (date or time) instead of New Text.



          var list = document.getElementsByTagName("g")[0]; 
          var textNode = list.getElementsByTagName("text")[0].children[0];
          textNode.textContent = "New Text";

          • So but by a table I may have on the first date no bookable time but in the next week it is possible so that with the [0] wouldn't work very well

          this code worked for me, use your desired function (date or time) instead of New Text.



          var list = document.getElementsByTagName("g")[0]; 
          var textNode = list.getElementsByTagName("text")[0].children[0];
          textNode.textContent = "New Text";
